Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices: Lowering Life Cycle Cost Equipment

Overview:

Introduction:

Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices are critical for every successful individual and company. This workshop delivers many practical and new Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices concepts and tools. You will discuss these concepts and practice using practical tools in case studies and discussion groups.

The costs associated with equipment downtime and reduced production can be significant. Learning how to effectively manage all aspects of your industrial facility is a must.
This workshop is a combination of instructor lead topic areas and class discussions. Interactive discussions will allow you to hear and learn best in class applications relating to maintenance planning and cost management strategies. You will have the opportunity to ask lots of questions in order to consider how best to apply these tools and techniques in your organization.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course the participants will be able to:

  • Evaluate and justify your maintenance programs using Value = Benefit – Cost.
  • Apply Life Cycle cost and risk planning to your facility assets.
  • Target Maintainability and/or Reliability in the development of your facility maintenance plans.
  • Learn the PLAN, DO, REVIEW the cycle of continuous improvement.
  • Apply the theory of this session using practical case studies.
  • Practice using improvement techniques
